Walt Whitman - I Thought I Was Not Alone

I THOUGHT I was not alone, walking here by the shore, <br /> But the one I thought was with me, as now I walk by the shore, <br /> As I lean and look through the glimmering light--that one has utterly <br /> disappeared, <br /> And those appear that perplex me.<br /><br />Walt Whitman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-thought-i-was-not-alone/
